The other Tired Teacher and I were so excited.  We were going to be snorkeling in the middle of the high desert of West Texas.  Snorkeling in the desert!  How cool! The other Tired Teacher dropped me off and went to park the car.  Both of the Tired Teachers wear glasses, and this Tired Teacher...

Our longest trip in the fifth wheel was to Lake Alltoona, Georgia.  For us, it was well worth the drive. After searching various websites, we decided to stay at an Army Corps of Engineers Park. Lake McKinney Campground looked wonderful online and even better in real life. The campsite was a...

Welcome.  I think there is a message board about traveling with pets, and that might be a great place to start.

Thanks for your service.  I truly respect those I know with a military background.  Oh, and welcome to the forum.

We stayed at the Prude Ranch.  It could be a truly awesome place to stay, but the owners haven't really kept it up.  Not far from there is the Davis Mountains State Park, as Larry mentioned.  If we had it to do over, I think we might stay there.  If you don't already have one, a Texas State Park...

Located in the Davis Mountains near Fort Davis, the McDonald Observatory sits high on the top of a mountain. It is part of the University of Texas at Austin, a mere 450 miles away. For miles around, the observatory is the only thing you see. It is in a most desolate spot.It is well worth the...

Hope she has a speedy recovery.
